Just to prove I haven't been slacking too much, here's what I've been working on:​​John's 'Ashborn' pot is ready for sticking on the lathe and the neck is all glued ready to start work on.

Tom's flamed Maple rim is glued ready for fitting the Tubaphone tone ring and Rocklite rim cap.Should have the truss rod and Rocklite fingerboard/peghead overlays glued on sometime next week. I haven't played a Tubaphone banjo for around 10 years, so I'm looking forward to finishing this one.

Rainier's Ash block rim is also heading for the lathe next week, should get the neck roughed out too.
